A Las Vegas Mom Of 4 Shot & Killed Over Stolen Salad
Las Vegas Mother Of Four Gunned Down Over Stolen Salad
A Nevada mom of four was shot dead at a convenience store by a cashier last week after stealing a salad because she didn’t have the money to pay for it, the victim’s family has claimed.
Mallory Angel Armijo, 35, was shot and killed by a clerk at a 7-Eleven near the Las Vegas strip around 12:16 a.m. Friday, Armijo’s sister, Rachel Wright, said in an interview published Tuesday that she died after a confrontation over a stolen salad.
“She stole it for her girlfriend that was hungry. They didn’t have any money so she said she would get her something so she got a salad,” she told the outlet. “[My sister and the cashier] started arguing outside the store. The teller was fighting my sister to get her purse, knocked her down to the ground. A guy came over and said to get off of her.”

Armijo was then shot three times in the back while she walked away, Wright said. She later died at Sunrise Hospital.
“Mallory was a good girl. Yeah. She stole a salad and I’m not condoning that at all but she didn’t deserve what she got for that,” Wright said. “She’s a mother of four. She’s a good woman. It’s terrible. It was such a senseless crime. I’m still in shock.”
Wright alleged that the clerk, who has not been named publicly, has a criminal background. “He’s had priors. He threw hot water on a person. He wrestled a woman down in the parking lot and these are things that are noted on paper,” she claimed.
“Yet he was still allowed to be employed here until he blew his top and unfortunately, my sister was the one who paid the price for that.”Wright admitted that her sister’s loved ones are “broken” but are committed to moving forward for her children.
“I love the neighborhood and people coming to remember her,” she said. “She was a happy, loving soul. She never held a grudge. She always forgave people … She will heal but it’s really been hard.”
